Cocoa Beach by Beatriz Williams

Falling in love and marrying during a war usually turns out to be a good thing, but for Virginia Fortescue Fitzwilliam it wasn't working out.

Virginia
fell in love, married, and then spent hardly any time with her
husband. The war is over, she still hasn't seen him, and then she
returns to the United States to her father and her sister.

Her family has secrets, and she finds out Simon does too. Simon seems to be the perfect manipulator and liar.

We
follow Virginia and Simon Fitzwilliam as the book goes back and forth
from WWI to after the war and as their love affair blossomed and faded
and the secrets Simon held were revealed.

After
three years of not seeing Simon, a fire in Cocoa Beach claimed his
life, Virginia went there to settle things, and her adventure in Florida
begins...well if you want to call it an adventure. An adventure is to
be fun, but Virginia runs into trouble and more secrets.

COCOA
BEACH had beautifully detailed writing. It was a bit slow at first,
but the story line was marvelous as always and filled with mystery.

COCOA
BEACH is another winner by Beatriz Williams that keeps you turning the
pages wanting to know what really happened and what really was going
on.

Something sinister was brewing throughout, and the end will have you saying: What? Who was the bigger liar?

ENJOY if you read COCOA BEACH...a marvelous, thoughtful read with mystery and a lot of questions. 4/5

This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.

Ahhhhh...Scotland - July, 2010

.................Back in Scotland again this summer visiting my son...a lot of new things to see...old houses from the 1600's and quaint settings. We also went to London to see LOVE NEVER DIES...it is Andrew Lloyd Weber's sequel to THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Went to the Isle of Skye...what beautiful green hills, waterfalls, sheep, mountains...just fantastic. Stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in this most adorable, remote town called Portree...check it out...the photo at the top half of my blog actually is Portree, Scotland...love Portree. Went to York, England also...very quaint as well. The only thing I didn't like was the weather...definitely not summer weather to me...I need HOT temperatures. :) Also heard the Rod Stewart concert while standing on the Royal Mile....he was at the Edinburgh Castle in a stadium-like outdoor stage and we could hear it from the street.....pretty awesome.
